About the company
Nutrienvisus is an early stage agrifood technology company that has developed natural plant nutrients using locally sourced and upcycled ingredients from breweries. Our first product Enviotin® rebalances and nourishes the soil and has been proven to significantly improve the health and quality of plants and enables growers to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. We are proud to have some of our local greenhouses as our customers and we’re ready to start marketing our products to growers across Canada. We want to help growers to adapt with new technologies that are offering more sustainable agriculture practices, but can maintain or even improve crop yield.
